Question

An electron enters into a space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor at an angle α with the plates and leaves at an angle β to the plates. The ratio of its kinetic energy while entering the capacitor to that while leaving it, will be :


  1. (cosβcosα)2
  2. (cosαcosβ)2
  3. (sinαsinβ)2
  4. (sinβsinα)2

A
(cosαcosβ)2
B
(sinαsinβ)2
C
(cosβcosα)2
D
(sinβsinα)2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The velocity of electron in x direction must not change as force is being applied in y direction only.
V1cosα=V2cosB (x direction velocities must be same).
V2=V1cosαcosB
initial kinetic energy (E1)=12meV21
final kinetic energy (E2)=12me(V1cosαcosB)2.
E2E1=(cosBcosα)2.
